New Netherland XI: Culture Series - Government

Why is it only now that we are doing an overview of culture in New Netherland? The evolution of government, local government, and courts in New Netherland. It's not as dry as it sounds... there is genital mutilation, shot gun weddings and spies contained within. The Culture Series episodes are intended to fill in the small details that some may find interesting, you may skip the culture series episodes without missing out on the larger story.
